Re: My mom keeps putting me in awkward positions…
its good you are being semi realistic about knowing the financial situation, you would be surprised how many don’t think about stuff like that when they are thinking of moving out. However I do want to bring up a few things. By what you’ve said, I can see how stressful it is ( I have friends who are sisters whos mom acts the same way as you’ve described your mom). But, you need to be a little more level headed when you are planning your move out. daycare will be an issue since you will be at school/work. so make sure you do not burn bridges with your mom, because if you end up needing her to take care of your daughter because daycare or other means are too much, that door will not open to you, and you will be the one suffering. I know you want to move out asap, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices, maybe consider staying at home, saving up money and just tolerating the home situation as a sacrifice for a better future once you do move out. nothing comes easy in life, be patient, and if it does come easy, you won’t appreciate it one bit. another sacrifice, don’t jump into buying a place and possibly making an irrational decision. I don’t know you personally, but I’m pretty sure it’s not beneath you to rent a place for a while instead of going around hoping to get a loan and risk ruining your credit or not being happy in the long run because you made a rash decision
